I am looking for a build that can stream and play league of legends and other games if I choose. I can spend up to 1200 but I want a new monitor so not something that is extremely expensive.

@derza10
What operating system should I use? This is my first time building a computer. Is this build overly complicated? Would i install the operating system to the solid state drive?
 
Either windows 7 or windows 8.1, and yes install it to the SSD - building the computer should take a couple of hours and watching youtube videos will help you get it done. Are you using my build and giving -HH- best answer? (confusing that you ask me the question heh)

Yeah I hit the wrong one. First time using this website. Sorry. I am using your build though. Thank you!

I have a cd from cybepower pc that is my operating system through them. It is from a computer I purchased through them many years ago. Would I be able to use that as my operating system or buy a whole new one?
 


Ah, I un-selected his as the best answer so you can switch it now.. As for the OS, most pre-built systems come with OEM versions of the OS and these are linked to the motherboard. You might be able to use it but most likely you will need to get a new OS.

I don't believe so (its been awhile sense i installed mine) but it will show you the size of them... So in your case you will select the drive that has ~100-120 gb of capacity.
